Griffin was getting owned just like everyone else the last 2 games. Seems people don’t understand there’s a ratio in the cfl either. Cuz how the **** does he start. Everyone loves the other teams cast offs. Griffin. Cobb. Mitchell who is apparently dumb as rocks. 
 

 

Are they not starting 8 NAT pretty regularly?
Nuef
Kol
Wallace
Demski
Brady
Cler
Kramdi
Thomas/Lawson

Even if they only start 7....Griffin is American so he'd just replace I don't know...Bridges

If I was Jones id not agree to be "hurt" so we would have to either roster him...ask him to join PR (which i sure he'd say no thanks to)...or just release him...cause I sure he wants to play but also not be a distraction talking bout it here.

He'd be picked up in a heartbeat and in some teams lineup immediately....

He's getting a full pay check without any risk of injury. That's not a bad gig.  So far neither have declined to be extended on the 1 game IR.  I don't understand why he's not on the AR though in place of Ayers most probably.

Bridges still in the line up....

*sigh* same lineup from last week.   Remind me what the definition of insanity is?  At least Calgary lost last night.

Only 13 more games guys... we can stick it out.   I will be in Calgary for the August 9th game.   I wonder how badly we'll get schooled then.

 

Ball on for Novak is the only change.

Bridges has been awful the past few games, Parker has had some struggles the past few and we make no changes.

Does this season feel like 2004 to anybody else?

I can not help but agree. Don't get the chance to post much here. Retirement is keeping me Uber busy. However IMHO this starting lineup as posted is the weakest Bomber Lineup I have seen in a very long time. No speed receivers, poor DL and OL, secondary is weak (and that is a complement) and I am not even sure about how effective our starting QB will be.

Seriously? I say freaking MOS. He seems to be the one focused on having loads of guys who only play teams on the roster.

In the Freep today (and the stuff there is mostly fluff) Bridges exonerated himself completely and was not challenged. What we are seeing is another episode of O'Shea's "I chose him and he's not going anywhere" attitude. Does not bode well for Saturday's game. 

Bridges is the new Roc Carmichal it seems. 

If Younger/O'Shea endorse Bridges' decision making on that touchdown it speaks to their system on D having no ability to manage a QB outside the pocket.

Most immediate threat if you're a corner with nothing but green turf behind you is a receiver, not the QB 30+ yards away who might run.  Bridges' quote from yesterday sounds like a guy who has no ******* idea what his assignment is after the first 3 seconds of the play.  Field corner unless they are in a 2 high cut look, your only true responsibility is to not let the widest guy behind you in basically every single defensive coverage in this country.

Bridges stinks. He’s being picked on week in and week out, i didn’t really like his comments about him saying we need to be better oppposed to I need to be better. I know it’s a collective unit but man stop pointing the finger, take responsibility.

I knew this would happen, but it’s still bloody infuriating.

I thought we had this great culture and the vets held guys accountable. Guess that's about as true as there being a Santa Claus.

Doesn't work when the vets are a big part of the problem. 

The thing that makes me chuckle here is that people are posting the daily reports from practice, which clearly stated there were no real changes. DT even said Ball likely on for Novak, otherwise everything the same.....

...and then everyone freaks out when the depth chart comes out. If there were going to be any changes they would have been installed day 1 of the week. 

I don't know enough to know what's right or wrong in this situation, but clearly they feel it's mental mistakes more than lack of talent. If they lose to a bad Toronto team, there's going to be a lot more questions....

This isn’t ever gonna be fixed unless we move on from O’Shea

I would say his rope is long however because this is a grey cup year and we don’t atleast host a playoff game or make it to the grey cup I could see that being a possibility .

Eventually tho....guys wanna play....and are not happy not

yup...he is the problem ya buts and all

not shocked...expected this same ol same ol lineup and the addition of another redundant ST only guy...ho will get minimal reps at that...not even the best ST option , and not see the light of day for any defensive reps....and if he does boy are we in trouble and severely hemorrhaging in legit talent

Opportunity to add a couple guys if for anything just to gauge what the difference is...and we fail again...cause basically Osh is brain dead and wants to seem like he the wisest guy in the league and plays his bias over talent or best roster

WE have had more poor/questionable games this yr really than good ones...yet we roll status quo....pathetic

I hate to say this as I never widh on us losing but I hope we get tight spanked again...and next week too....only way we gonna see changes...brutal all around

his rope doesnt deserve to be long anymore...he has used up his past good will wih success...years agi....from Manageent...he should have zero rope

IF we get lambasted by an argo club on the limp, Miller has to call Osh and Walters in for a little discussion....The management and the head coaching has to be questioned...When it 'looks like' the club is not even making an effort to change things up, especially after the last 2 games, it has to be challenged...not by just the fans, but by someone in a higher position...This does not bode well for attendance at the Princess and that's where it's going to hurt

Absolutely. If this continues, Manitobans will vote with their feet. Hotdogs and beer can be had anywhere.

Say what you will about Bighill and Alexander's declining play but their voices on that side of the ball are sorely missed.
